title: Formation of a stable dicarbenoid and an unsaturated C2P2S2 ring from two-electron oxidation of the [C(PPh2S)2]2- dianion.
abstract: Two-electron oxidation of the [C(PPh(2)S)(2)](2-) dianion with iodine afforded an unexpected mixture of a dimeric Li-I carbenoid [(Et(2)O)(mu-Li)][(mu(4)-Li){IC(PPh(2)S)(2)}(2)] and a novel, unsaturated six-membered C(2)P(2)S(2) ring in [(SPh(2)P)(2)C(2)(PPh(2))(2)S(2)].
